Pat's passion is all things puppy. The services offered to new puppy owners are developed to provide the solid foundation necessary to raise a well-adjusted, confident puppy in order to avoid the common pitfalls that often accompany adolescence. Since 80% of the dogs that are surrendered by their owners are adolescents Pat's mission is to help new puppy owners realize how detrimental it is to get professional support earlier than later.
